I have recently started using VICE, specifically x64sc, and I was thinking of coding a game for it. However, I know almost nothing about what I want to do, and the manual isn't very helpful either. Some issues are particularly hard to overcome, and so far I can't find any solution

How do I copy files from a 1541 to an FD-4000? I was going to compile multiple basic extensions together to create a sort of all-in-one extension, but I don't know how to do that either.

How do I replace the kernal ROMs? My intention with this is to implement a fastloader that will work with a virtual FD-4000.

How do I get a virtual FD-4000 to work in VICE?

How do the tape images work? So far I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer.

I have downloaded some basic extensions, but I am not sure whether they are all compatible with the C64. As such, I would like to know information about the following programs, primarily if they are compatible.

  • apsoft-64
  • basic lightning v1.2
  • basic4.0
  • Basic expansion 4.5
  • c64 basic v3.5
  • DotBASIC
  • Game BASIC
  • Graphics basic
  • laser basic
  • metabasic
  • metabasic plus
  • modem basic v1.2
  • northcastle structured basic v1.7
  • tape master pro 2
  • ultra basic

Please let me know is there is a more appropriate place to post this.

    These are multiple questions. Maybe you could split them in separate questions here. Also for some things that did not work for you, try to give the steps you tried already. – Peter Kofler Nov 30 '22 at 15:05
  • For getting a virtual FD-4000 drive to work, I downloaded a file on the internet, moved that file into the DRIVES folder, created a disk image, and changed the file type to .d4m, because when VICE creates a disk image, it doesn't add the extension you wanted. – Thomas C. Dec 01 '22 at 00:22
  • I don't know how to copy files from a 1541 to an FD-4000. The process for recording to a tape image isn't very intuitive, because I think I recorded to the file, but then I open it in Notepad and I find that nothing has changed. – Thomas C. Dec 01 '22 at 00:23
